Redpath

Redpath is (one) of my middle names, my Mother gave me some of her favorite ancestral names. Carpenter is the other one...As to what it means, I'd be delighted if someone could tell me. It's Scottish and my Grandfather, who was a great geneologist, used to tell me it was from the path of blood the Spaniards left behind when my Scottish ancestors where kicking there arses back to the coast, but later in life he admitted to making that up or maybe it was a guess on his part. Anyone have any facts on this?
If you do please pm me.
THanks

You see that? We are all connected somehow. I even know a Cragie. I think i'm going to cry.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. - E. B. White (1899 - 1985)

My name

Mine has to do with our newly arroused desire to do a thru hike on the AT. We Wanna B thru hikers. Then we discovered hammocks and found that with them it just might be possible for us to do the through hike despite our age as we would be able to get a good nights sleep. We have not been able to afford to get all the necessary equipment to even hammock camp except in good weather so again we are Wanna B hammockers.
We have had exactly three hammock campouts. The middle one was with the Texas group hang. All three were great though we got pretty cold on our last one. We also Wanna B regular campers. No matter how far we progress, I think we will Wanna B looking to an even better future so we will always B Wanna Bs.

Back in my Army Days I used to umm do things. So I would say something along the lines of Hey Ya'll watch this. And chaos would soon follow. It was always pretty Hairy at the time, but the after look and recount of the story would bring a lot of laughs. So People started calling me Hoot. It stuck.

Now things are less dangerous but I still like to keep people entertained. So Hoot Fits.

I figure the more people smiling in the world makes it that much a better place.
